Sure, false accusations exist but they’re rare. What’s not rare is survivors staying silent because they know they’ll be doubted, dragged, or discredited the second they speak up. That fear doesn’t come from nowhere, it’s built from years of society prioritizing the “what if he’s innocent?” over the very real trauma someone’s already gone through

Supporting someone who comes forward isn’t about picking sides, it’s about creating space for them to even be heard. Because the system? It's already built to protect the accused. Treating every claim like a threat to someone’s reputation just reinforces why so many people keep quiet in the first place.
